The following account Of the proceedings at a public meeting at Bombay shortly after the death of Bishop Heber, is extracted from the Romp! Courier, and we think it will be deeply interesting to our readers : Pursuant to the public notice inserted in this paper, a very numerous and respectable meeting of the society of Bombay was assembled in St. Thomas's Church, on Sa turday last, for the purpose of considering the most appro priate mode of evincing their respect and esteem for the late Right Reverend R e gi na ld Heber, Lord Bishop of Calcutta. The Hon. the GOVERNOR addressed•the meeting to the following effect :—The purpose for which we are met is I •to consider of a tribute to the memory of one of the most enlightened "and amiable prelates that ever adorned the Church. His extensive learning, his rare accomplishments, his universal benevolence, his unaffected piety, the sim plicity' and kindneis of his manners, but lately attracted your admiration, and must still be fresh in your memory. ,The Hon. the CHIEF JUSTICE, ill proposing the first Resolution, said—Sir, I have the honour to propose a Re-: solution expressive of our deep regret and grief at the mournful event which has occasioned this meeting, a re solution which requires not a word from me to recommend it. But a few months have elapsed' since he was in the, midst of us,, urging us by precept (and never was precept enforced with more glowing eloquence), animating us by example (and never was example more bright or, aurae-, tive), engaging us by converse (and never was converse more winning or persuasive), to that great work to which he had devoted his life. Not a short yearhas yet passed over us since, from that very seat which you, Sir, now occupy, he recommended to us, in a manner and with language ir resistible, one of those institutions of charity and of religion, which, though not • reared by him, was daily strengthen ing and expanding under his fostering hand. i To dwell upon his virtues, upon the charity of his heart the sweetness of his disposition, the amenity and simplicity of his manners, or the delights of his conversation, were superfluous, recently as we have all been witnesses to them. —No man perhaps was ever more calculated, from the reputation of his name, the splendour of his talents, the depth of his erudition, the purity of his life, the sanctity of his office, and the eminence of his station, to inspire us with' „respect and veneration ; but on the slightest inter course, on the shortest acquaintance or converse with him, these feelings were absorbed and lost in a still deeper feel ing of affection and of love. To his zeal in the cause of humanity and Christianity, we want no testimony. He sacrificed all the endearments of his home, hi; expatriated himself from the land of his fathers, he tore himself from the nearest and dearest rela tives, and from the. most devoted friends, .he• abandoned the most brilliant worldly prospeeti, for' this' istant and fatal clime. A very few years must have seen him in as exalted a situation in his native country as he filled in India.—Never, however, even in Britain, could he have occupied a more exalted station in the admiration, the esteem, and affection of his conntrymen. lr beg to propose the follosying resolution : That this Meeting is penetrated with feelings of the deepest sorrow for the sudden and untiintly death of the Right,l4w. Regi 44fijfelvr turd. UiAl4,4'Coslouts ; and wisii.S44,,onunestio rate, with the highest regard, the goodness, the candour, 7tilti • th,, charity, which adorned his private character, they reflect with no • less admiration on the lustre of his public life, distinguished, as it has been, by uncommon talents and extensive learning, and cnnse crated to the unwearied labours of his high and important station," In moving the second Resolution, Sir Charles Cham bers expressed himself nearly in the following terms :-- " Sir- , -After the eloquent eulogium to which we have just been listening, from the Hon'. Mover of the first reso lution, I could have been well content to, sit down in silence after having read to the meeting the resolution which I have the honour to hold in 'my hand; but having been active in promoting this public' testimony of our re gard for the Memory of Bishop Heber, I feel that I should be guilty' of great remissness, if I did not exert my utmost endeavour upon this occasion to do honour to his niernory. By the public notice, 'we have been called upon in the first place' to express our regard for the private virtues of our lamented Diocesan. It is so 'short . a time since he was amongst us, and he spent so much large r a portion of time here than we could reasonably have anticipated, that every one who hears me must have had ample opportunity of forming an estimate of his private character. Indeed, openness and ingenuousness, with humility deep and un affected, were so much the characteristics of his whole life, that it was impossible to be long in his society with out easily discovering the beauty of - his character. " It would be a presumptuous undertaking in me to at tempt to pourtrat to you the pattern of a•Christian Bishop. But With reference to the occasion on which we are as sembled, it may be permitted me to make one or two re marks, which have been suggested by my personal know ledge. of Bishop Heber. In looking at the peculiar dl b it' of a Bishop of the Indian diocese, it must have often (Ty- . curred to every one that the contemplation of its countless inhabitants, immersed in darkness and ignorance, and the desire Of elevating them tea higher state of existence by the benefits of knowledge and the blessings of religion, has a tendency to mite the mind above its sober level ; while on the other hand, the consideration of the innumerable an d ' b l ast inatirmountable obstacles which present them- se l ves to the progress of improvement, is apt to depress the holies of the most sanguine, and to give to all our schemes of melioration the appearance of being visionary. The views of Bishop Heber, carried into action with his cha racteristic promptitude and energy, and animated by a zeal which some might deem enthusiastic, never appear to have misled his judgment. Carrying into the, investigation of', the situation of his vast diocese all the lights which human learning could afford,' with the firm conviction of the truths which his high office called upon him to inculcate, his moderation turd temperance were conspicuous to all. In rea eat to the, great point of improving the condition p of the natives by- education, he earnestly and zealously gr e atpredeceisor Bishop Middleton, i followed th e Steps ef h' His tongue and. his heart were ever employed in g i v i ng effect to that institution which will immortalise .the mune of his predecessor, redeeessorOmil doubtlesi this meeting pan . not . be more appropriatelyemployed, than by making this 1111 Occasion of promoting the welfare of Bishop's College, 'which " the almbit boundless liberality of . Bishop Heber, vt'hen living, contributed to cherish, • I must toueli on one more point of his Epiacop . al cha racter and exertions, and that part which at first view we might b e disposed to consider of inferior maplitude, but which rightly appreciated must alway td be of the first iniportance—l mean the demeanour and conduct of Bishop Heber'to the European inhabitants of s be acknowledged India. It cannot, I think, he a moment doubted that the first important step which will tend to enlighten the na tive population, will proceed from a gradual approximation between the two classes; more kindliness and considera tion on the side of thaformer, more knowledge and less prejudice an the,eitle of the latter. When this effect will take place, in the revolution of ages, it is impossible, .even in idea to anticipate. It cannot reasonably be conceived pro beide until the European population, shall numerically pre ponderate to a greater extent than it does it present : but this we may confidently affirm, that if the approximation of the two classes, by education and tetanal good-will, is to be hailed as the forerunner of a new era, nothing can well he considered as of greater effect to retard such a blessed event, than the neglect of the European population to act up to their own light and information, and to make their lives consistent with the precepts of our holy faith. It seemed to'be natural inclination, as : well as the sense of duty, which induced Bishop Heber so . to 'deport hith self as, to 'allure men to his society and converse sation, by candour, by fsiroe ss and urbanity ; while at the same time his fervent and genuine piety, and his earnest and patient discharge of the ministerial parts of his sacred office, ensured the respect of all, both to his own character and the service in which he was en eged. Through his long progress in the Upper Pro vinces he seems to have fascinated all classes, nor do I think upon examination th ere won ld, b e found a single die- , sentient voice upon this point of his character. Had he lived to continue his indefatigable `labour*, and to have studied the various . parts of hi s m etemiive flock more .at leisure, his maturer . judgment might have-led him t° l " -- dify his intercourse in some points : but the broad outline of his character would have :remained the same, and he would always'have appeared to be actuated by the same ruling principle—a simple desire to draw men to a holy and religious life, by the 'representation of it under the most gentle and unassuming aspect. " I hare thus endeavoured, to the best of my ability, to do its merited honours to the character of our illustrious friend. From the earliest period which I can recollect, his character and endowments have been familiar to me, and the intimacy which has for along period existed between our mutual friends and connections---an intimacy which has now, survived more than one generation,—has render ed me equally familiar with the general outline of his in teresting and eventful life. The Learned Chief Justice has told you of the splendour of his academical career. After having exhausted the stores of ancient learning, he travelled over a great part ofthe continent, and was fami liarly acquainted, I believe, with all its languages. When he returned home, he devoted himself t o the sacred office, and became as deeply ;Entitled with s acre d lore as he had previously been with profane literature. For nearly twenty years before his undertaking the Episcopal office, he en toyed in England all the benefits which the most refined society of the most relined country in the world could afford, and all the blessings of domestic life, which he knew so well how to appreciate :were abundantly showered down , upon him. In the midst Of happiness, almost without alloy, and of society, which hew o well calculatedreciprocally to 1 N enjoy and to adorn, the opp ' ity presented itselfof visiting India in the character of i ' Bi top. Lot it not be thought z that he eagerly and uniulvi lysnatehedat its- elevation to gratify worldly pride and mbition. 1 : well remember ti ol hearing front those most intimate with him the circum+ stances under which he was induced to accept its respon sibility. , It was pressed much upon him by his friend and, connection Mr. Wynne : but natural affection to an aged relative, and those ties which, at a mature time of life, ac ;quire the strongest claims upon the, mind, both from duty and inclination, made him recoil from the thought: : : He declined the office, but after the lapse of abent a week, after, I was assured, devout tiellitation, and not witkput 'fervent prayer to that Being, ", who is the source of all utterance and knowledge, who sendeth the seraphim with 'the hallowed fire of his 4 1tac to tionillaweil piisify,-thetlips of 1.1 4 34,11, lii . preJi*drap it' hi .

Upon his arrival on those shores we have seen how cheerfully and zealously he entered %ion his pastoral duties—how : promptly and energetically he pursued his apostolic mission .up to that melancholy period which has beheld at once the extinction of. his labours and of our hopes. I : shall 'conclude by reading the second resolution to be proposed for your consideration, namely, , i That a subscription be entered into for the purpose of raising la fund to endow one or more scholarships at Bishop's College, Calcutta, for the benefit of this Presidency, to be called, 'Bishop Ileber's .fiombay Scholarships."' This resolution was carried, and sr Committee a)poiuted to ,ake into consideration the best mode of effecting its object. A fish called the Bottle Fish, of extraordinary size, was last week cast ashore at Skegness; it measured 13 feet and a half in length, and eight feet in'eircum ferenee : it was boiled for the blubber.—Lincoln Mercury.

THE MURDER NEAR LEATHERHEAD., On Saturday evening, at five o'clock, a Jury was em-, paunched at the Bell public-house, at Fetcham, two miles' from :Leatherhead, for the purpose of investigating th 6 cause of the deaths of John Akehurs4aged 96, and Eliza beth Haines, his housekeeper, aged 74, who had been bar-' harously murdered by some person or persons unknown. The Jury, accompanied by the Coroner and several Ma-! gistmtes, went to the cottage of the deceased persons to view the bodies. The house stands surrounded by fruit trees, and is so much concealed thereby, that only the chimney-top could be discerned by those who passed down, the lane adjoining. The Jury examined the bodies very . minutely, and it was their opinion that 'a hammer had been used by' the murderer when he dealt upon the poor unfiirtunate creatures. The old man, though nearly 100 years of age, and so debilitated from decay of nature tispoL, to be able to raise himself from his bed, was in possession of his mental' faculties to the last. He was constantly visited by:the clergyman of the parish, who read to him: and prayed ivith him. He would at times converse freely' upon- public events, and his memory was so good, that he was a living historian, and could narrate the battles which' had occurred from the time when the country was thrown into such a state of alarm by the Pretender, in 1745 ; he was then a fine 'young man, near 20 years of age. The poor old woman, who had been: faithful to him even unto. death, was of short stature, but her form was most deli cate, and in her youth she must have been a very pretty little woman. She had a remarkable small foot and hand. The deceitied persons had lost all their, teeth;' and very 'slight force would have been sufficient to destroy such feeble creatures. The Jury having inspected the bodies, house and grounds, returned to the jury -room, and the fol lowing evidence was taken:— . Mr. WOODS (of Godalming), the Coroner for that di vision of the county, having sworn the jury, stated to them that they were assembled on this melancholy occasion for the purpose of discharging a most important duty. It was necessary that they should be particular when viewing the bodies, to ascertain if any marks of violence were thereon. It was not for him to anticipate facts which would most likely come out in evidence before them, and he knew they would discharge their duty•to their country conscientious ly, and consonant with the ends of justice. Thomas Brown—l live at Feteham, am a labourer, and am 21 years of age; I have known the deceased persons from my 'infancy, having lived in a cottage with my mother not 150. yards from the deceased ; I saw Akehurst on Wednesday last, the llth instant, about. eleven o'clock in the morning; I had finished gathering apples for him in his orchard, Akehurst was in bed ; he was very infirm ; I went to him, and told him I had finished gathering the lapplea; the house-keeper assisted me in getting the fruit ; he Said, that the housekeeper and myself might have the swan-egg pears from one tree as a compensation for our trouble ; I saw the housekeeper on ThurOday morning, about nine o'clock ; she came into Mrs. Sherlock's to borrow a tub ; I never said that the deceased had money; I received four shillings from the housekeeper on Fri day week, for work; she brought the money down stairs in her hand ;. on Friday morning last, about a quarter past six, I went to the deceased's cottage, to borrow a basket. of die housekeeper; on arriving at the door, 1- saw it Altßall. partly - opened; I pnsited it open and entered; seeing no one inside, I called to the ho es but received no WIN Wei' on going Out Or the front door, 1 'saw that the wash-house window was optti, and that a pane of glass in the centre of the window had been taken out, and also an iron bar, which fastened the window-frame from the top to the bottom of it. The waslr-house communicates with the kitehen' by a door ; picked up the Iron bar or stanchion a few yards from the window, round the corner of the house ; I saw no foet marks that. I particularly noticed; after I obserVed what 1 have stated, I went to my mother, Elizabeth Brown, and told her; she came Nl' the deceased's cottage instantly, and went up stairs. I heard her: scream out, and she exclaimed, " Mrs. Haines, the. house-keeper, is murdered." I was standing about three steps up stairs; I had not so much courage as my mother; 1 ran to Mrs. Sherlock, and in formed her of what my mother had said; and thinking that more assistance was necessary, I went to 4 neighbouring farmer, named Gibbs, and told him of what had happened, I said to Gibbs,' " that Master Akehurst and his house keeper were murdered;" my mother did not tell me that Akehurst was murdered; but in my burry I said so; I re turned With three men to the cottage, who were sent by Mr. Gibbs; I was absent nearly en.hour, and went up stairs with the men ; I saw the old woman lying on her back in a heap of blood, in her master's room, by the left side of his bed, with her head beaten to pieces • I went round the bottom of the b e d, to th e r i g h t s id e , and saw the old man lying in bed covered with clothes; I instantly turned out of the room, and went dOwn stairs, being satis fied they were both dead ; I observed the throat of the housekeeper, which appeared to have been pinched by some perym's fingers, and bore bleak marks; th ere was a goo d deal of blood on the sheets on Master Akehurst's bed. Elizabeth 'Bennett deposed-4 am the mother of the last witness, and have knOwn the deceased persons 25 yeari. I saw the housekeeper the last time, on Thunulay evening, about five o'clock; she was carrying some wet linen from the garden into the house. 1 did not speak to her, Oh Friday morning last, about half-past six, my ion called the, and told me that he wai afraid something had happened at Akehurst's cottage, because the• window was broken, and the door open. i said, " Lord have mercy, Tom, you don't say so'?" 'I went with hiM to the door of the cottage, and called the housekeeper by her name, aod afterwards I called " John Akehur*t," I called at the door for ' some time before I entered,and on receiving no answer, I walked up the stairs, and sill", the housekeeper lying on the farthest bed-room floor, by the side of her master's bed; the room door was wide open; I did not observe the window ; 1 went down stairs and fetched Mrs. Sherlock and another woman. On entaing the room with Mrs. Sherlock, we saw the housekeeper quite nuked on the floor; 'the bed in the first room, . in which the hOusekeeper slept, had been lain in, and the clothes were much disordered. 1 did not see the old man till Mr.Gibbg hid arrived; hii bed-eurteins were drawn on the side Where I stood, and intercepted my view. When Mr. Gibbs mired; I went up stairs again with.

Mr. James Bright, sworn.—l am an imistant to Mr. Baker, surgeon, of Leatherhead ; I was called from my bed on 'Way morning, between eight and nine &amity by a servant of Mr. Baker's, who informed me that two persons were reported to have been murdered in the neigh bourhood of Ketcham-common; I made the best of my way to the cottage of the deceased, and saw the bodies; I saw three or four women in the kitchen, and announced that 1 was a medical man; I went throug4 a bad-room on the top of the staircase, (which I was informed was the house keeper's bedehamber,) through a door leading into another bed-room on the same floor I. I saw an aged female lying on her back, her feet towards tbe door at which T. entered, and her head near the foot of the bedstead ; having ascot that she was dead, I proceeded to examine into the cause, being directed to it by the blood which had accu mulated upon the floor round her head. I examined the posterior part of her head, and there found a lacerated wound, with partial depression of the occipital bone, which must necessarily have been the cam of her death. There were also marks round the neck of violent pressure by hand. Coroner.—Do you think the marks were caused by au attempt to strangle the woman, by pressing her tightly round the neck ? Witness- 7 lthink the marks were caused by some oats holding her down with their hands tound her eeek,,..*.hile -, strikieg her. Upon critical e.samination of, they breisec ire her head, I think that the iajniry Was not eaused by a sharp weapon, but by some blunt instrument, the lap of which urns of the size of a crown-pie;' such eniTtistrurilitit as a. small mallet, or a hammer; I then tinned my attentkonto,; the old man, whom I found lying : onthe bea, ...hi* H lsek. with his hand a little raised; he was inside., the bed,'end his body was partially covered with the clothes; :. 1 saw blood on the pillow, and a severe lacerated wont:on the right temple, and, on closer bxamination, I found%a di vjkliou of temporal artery, with depression of hone, whiell'had caused his death. There were other parks of violence about the neck, hands, end other parts of , the body ;. it appeared that the same kind_ _of instrument had 'been used to inflict the NVOUndA on the deceased's person. I think they must have been dead,. when I saw them, five or six hours ; I have no doubt the murder was com mitted on the preceding night. The lower jaw of the old man was fractured on the right side, and one of his hands was severely injured in struggling with his murderer The Coroner ordered proclamation to he made for any other person who could give evidence touching this inquiry to come forward. No person answered.. , . The Foreman of the Jury, 3.ll..lrankey,Esq.aid, that he and his brother Magistrates had used every exertion to discover the murderer, but be was sorry to say with out success, for so secretly had the crime beau contrived and vomited, that they had not been able at present to oh tain slily thing in the shape of legal evidence against any individual. ~ The Rev. Mr. Rolland , inint, that no.person of a suspici ous character had been suet, in the neighbourhood Oleo the deceased persons resident, except one man, who was observed to be lurking about there it fortnight, ago. Mr. Wimps, the Coroner, said, if there was a likeli hood than other evidence, tending to bring the author of this crime to justice, would be brought forward, in a day or two, he should feel himself bound to adjourn the ire. quiry; but when hug was informed by the magistrates.pra-J sent, that they entertained 'little hope of bringing forweer4 further eVidence, he thought it would be a. waste, Of the, time of the Jury to bring them from their homes on a (Ise inn day, when, in all probability, no further evidence would• then he brought before them. It was manifest, fmm the evidence given, that a murder, as cold-blooded, cowardly, and inhuman, as ever stained the annals of this, and he might say with truth, of any other conntry,:bad been perpetrated by Some person or persons unknown. The 4itty, without,ecou)Ong it gument, returned .a. , vet* diet 44 4, Wilful murder against some person or persons un -;, loWwth.!! rortritaa' pairricti essts. It: will he recollected that in our former ticosont Of :-hest most savag,e and atrocious minders, it was st.sted that Hall, the chief officer of Union-flail, in the course of his examination of the premises, on the morning that the murders were perpetrated, discovered the old man's will in the drawer of a chest which was in his bed-room. This wilt was executed in the year NOS, by which it appeared that the cottage end grounds optics'- taining to it were to remain in the occupation of Elizabeth Haines, his housekeeper, for one year after the testator's death and at the expiration of that period, she w as t o r e , isitcu all claim to the property, which then devolved to his daughter. There was a codicil to this will bequetithitig several articles of furniture to his housekeeper on her re. signing' the oceupation of th e c o tt age , w hi c h were to b e selected by herself from the stock on the premises. And in the event of his daughter's death, it ex p ress ed . that hie little copyhold estate should be sold tbf the benefit of her surviving children. The daughter is a unirried woman up wards of 60 years of age, and resides with her husband, an aged man, about eight: miles from her father'S cottage. On being made acquainted with the murder of her parent and hie housekeeper; the daughter and her husband immediately proceeded to the cottage, and took poSsessimi of it ; and it was remarked by several persons who were present on the occasion, that neither of them exhibited the slightest horror on witnessing the murdered bodies of the deceased persons, but that strangers,. to whom the unfortunate pour creatures were unknown, manifeited greater feelings of sorrow on beholding the horrid Spectacle. The Rev. Mr. Rolland, (who has been indefatigable in his exertions to find out some clue to the discovery of this shocking mur der,) on perusing the,•will, and also on being made ec. quainted with the apathy of feeling displayed by, the daughter of the deceased on the occasion, thought proper to examine her very minutely With . respect to her Own family.. in the course of the questions .put by that gen, tleman after considerable teluetenee, she eclinowledged , that she had a daughter, Who had cohabited .with a ownerset heheie*rikeedl checked f t ; man of very bad charaeter, She did not ,know how th e y gained their livelihood, bet knew they were in the habit herself to say whether they had not been lying about ) tltd l oY n a lfa t t late ei t t L ia h 'eon e a tit a t : t ai hir e n h ra h eo e l tal l' u t: t h l nait n fair,n the tot either rlue eply LYt n i 1 ) b.1 1 e y ° t iu l l l i : e t h o hl; : ° 1 M a cddo b r i l. hol dfe ll e o : nV f l: q a ta v t i ec i c te d ha i la t ill e i l i l ue i:s tu also s t hecu her father recently.
